Furnish your future for success

The SCAD furniture design program is grounded in the context of a robust art and design university, where students create furnishings that are thoughtful, ergonomic, beautiful and sustainable. Collaborations with peers in related creative spheres lead to groundbreaking projects like SCADpad® , where SCAD furniture design students innovated micro-housing furniture solutions that were both functional and breathtaking. Opportunities just like these await you at the university for creative careers.

Turn your passion into your profession

SCAD will show you how to turn your creative visions into tangible, timeless art pieces. Katy Skelton (M.F.A., furniture design, 2011) discusses her artistic influences and how the supportive environment at SCAD gave her the encouragement she needed to start her own business.

Take advantage of creative collaborations

SCAD emphasizes collaboration between departments through opportunities like the SCADpad micro-housing project. SCADpad combined students from 12 different fields to reimagine the spaces in which we live. The project earned global media attention and the World Architecture News Urban Design Award for its innovations.

"My teaching philosophy is driven by my passion for the more recent evolution of furniture design and how the design process expands with innovation and technology."
